Prove yourself at every step that you are good

Lesson # 1126 from
Holy Qur-’aan

Prove yourself at every step that you are good

Surah ‘TAWBAH or BARAAA-‘AH (REPENTANCE)–
Chapter – 9)

Stage – 2, Verse – 91 of 129, Section – 12 of
16 (Part – 10)

BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful

91. Not unto the weak nor unto the sick nor unto
those who can find naught to spend is any fault (to be imputed though they
stay at home) if they are true to Allah and His Messenger. Not unto the good
is there any way (of blame). Allah is Forgiving, Merciful-

There was mention in the
previous verse about those people who bring forward false excuses and make untrue
impostures. In this verse; it is commanded about such people; whose excuses are
acceptable. Those excuses are – weakness, illness, poverty and besides this,
there is one more excuse, which will be discussed in the next lesson.

It is commanded that
women, children and old people are exempted due to their weakness and debility.
If they do not participate in the battle, there is no objection. Like this,
such people; who are sick and unable to bear physical labor, they are granted
permission also. The poor people can be kept excusable too because; for the journey;
there is a need of provision for the journey and weapons and equipment for the
battle. Participation in war without these things is just like putting oneself
in danger.

If these three kinds of
people do not partake in war; then their excuses can be accepted. Verily they
are unserviceable but the condition is that; they are in favor of the Muslims,
and encourage them with moral support. They should persuade the healthy and rich
people for participation in the Battle. They should not let disclosed by their
word and work, any such matter, due to which others lose their spirit. They should
prove by their conversation that they are sincere and good, and support the
Muslims in all sorts; which are in their power at this stage.

Such people, who prove
at their every step that they are good, are unaccountable from all charges. These
entire people are included in the category of magnificent people, and a good
person cannot be blamed. Their normal errors and mistakes, which are committed
due to natural tendencies of being a human, will be forgiven by Allah Almighty
because He is Forgiving, Merciful.
